Reports Report 675p (Event 675-2020)

Observer
Name Evan O
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw what I believed to be a shooting star. Fast moving light that appeared halfway up my view of the horizon. As it flew very fast it’s changed to red and then it was out of my sight. I immediately called my father because I have never seen more than a simple shooting star that stayed white/yellow in color traveling across the sky not downward and changing to red like this one appeared to me
